Plants crop for well over 10 years, and established beds can be cut from the first spears until mid-late June (after which the attractive ferns should be left to grow). We supply one year old crowns, grown in East Anglia, which can be picked the year after planting. Allow 30-40cm (12-18") between crowns.
